What Are Lotus Seeds?
The lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), also known as the sacred lotus or Indian lotus, is one of the world's most revered aquatic plants. Celebrated across cultures for its beauty and symbolism, the lotus rises from muddy water to produce breathtaking blooms — a timeless symbol of purity and resilience.
Our lotus seeds span bowl lotus, dwarf bonsai varieties, sacred lotus, and pure white aquatic types — all non-GMO and open-pollinated, selected for strong germination and vibrant blooms.

🌱 How to Grow Lotus from Seed
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Scarification | Lightly sand or nick the hard seed coat to allow water absorption before soaking |
| Soaking | Soak seeds in warm water (75–85°F / 24–29°C) for 3–5 days, changing water daily |
| Germination | Seeds sprout in 3–7 days; plant in shallow water (2–4 inches deep) once sprouted |
| Sunlight | Full sun (6+ hours daily) for best blooms |
| Water Depth | Bowl lotus: 4–8 inches; standard lotus: 12–18 inches; increase depth as plant grows |
